Syracuse 4 Buffalo 3
• Maya (W, 10-8) 6+ IP, 7H, 3R, 3ER, 3BB, 4K, HR
• Garcia (SV, 8) 2IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 2K
• Rivero 2-3, BB, RBI, SB
• Perez 2-5, R
Yunesky Maya won his fourth straight start as Syracuse edged Buffalo, 4-3. He gave up three runs on seven hits and three walks over six-plus innings for his 10th win, striking out four and letting up his 17th HR, a solo shot in the 3rd. The defense turned three double plays behind him and rallied for three runs in the fifth and a single run in the 6th. Carlos Rivero was the offensive star, going 2-for-3 with a walk, an RBI, and a stolen base.
Richmond 7 Harrisburg 2
• Wang (L, 1-3) 4⅔ IP, 7H, 7R, 6ER, 2BB, 4K
• Demny 1⅓ IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 3K, 1-0 IR-S
• Van Ostrand 3-4
• Goodwin 1-4, R, 2B, RBI
Despite facing the worst offense in the Eastern League, Chien-Ming Wang still got smoked like a cheap cigar in a 7-2 Harrisburg loss to Richmond. Wang was battered for seven runs on seven hits and two walks over four and 2/3rds innings. He can only be hidden on rehab until Saturday, when the Nationals must activate him, designate him for assignment, or transfer him to the 60-Day DL. Jimmy Van Ostrand celebrated his 28th birthday with a 3-for-4 game as the Senators were held to seven hits total. The Senators now trail the wild-card race by 5½ games.
Potomac 5 Myrtle Beach 1
• Meyer (W, 2-0) 6IP, 2H, R, ER, BB, 4K, WP
• Wort (SV, 7) 2IP, 0H, 0R, BB, 3K
• Martinson 1-2, R, 3B, 2BB, 2RBI, 2SB
• Rendon 2-3, 2R, 2B, BB
Potomac’s left side of the IF combined for three hits, three walks, and three runs scored in a 5-1 win over Myrtle Beach. Anthony Rendon singled, doubled, and drew a walk while Jason Martinson tripled and walked twice while stealing two bags and driving in two. Starter Alex Meyer won for the second time in four starts with his third quality start, giving up the sole Pelican run on two hits and a walk while setting down four on strikes. The win keeps pace with Wilmington, which took first place with a win and a Lynchburg loss. Roster moves: C Sam Palace placed on the 7-Day DL, 3B Anthony Rendon activated from 7-Day DL.
HAGERSTOWN SUNS — OFF DAY
It’s the second-to-last road trip outside of Maryland for the Suns, who spend the next four games in Charleston, South Carolina to take on the Riverdogs — a chance to fatten up against one of the Southern Division also-rans before returning home for the first of 17 straight divisional games.
Auburn 5 Jamestown 4
• Encarnacion 6IP, 6H, 3R, 3ER, BB, 5K
• Benincasa (W, 2-0) 2IP, H, 0R, 0BB, 3K
• Mesa 3-3, R, SB
• Pleffner 2-4, 2B, 2RBI
• McQuillan 2-4, R, RBI
A three-run 7th turned a 3-2 deficit into a 5-3 lead as Auburn held off Jamestown for a 5-4 win. Shawn Pleffner’s two-run double proved to be the gamewinner, as the big (6’5″) first baseman has gone 4-for-8 since his return from the DL. Robert Benincasa got the win with two scoreless innings of relief of starter Pedro Encarnacion, who gave up three runs over six innings on six hits and a walk. Narciso Mesa led the hit column with a 3-for-3 night, followed by Pleffner and Mike McQuillan, who both went 2-for-4. Auburn still leads the Pinckney division by 3½ games.
GCL Nationals 7 GCL Cardinals 6

• Nix 2-5, R, 2-2B, RBI
• Eusebio 2-5, RBI
Austin Chubb’s RBI groundout in the 9th gave the G-Nats their fifth straight win, 7-6 over the G-Cards. The two teams combined for 13 runs, 13 hits, 11 walks issued, seven errors (six by the Cardinals) and 22 strikeouts (14 by the Nationals). Gilberto Mendez and Kevin DiCharry got the win and save repsectively as each struck out the side in a scoreless inning of work. Tony Nix, who scored the game-winning run, led the offense with two doubles in five at-bats.
DSL Nationals 3 DSL Cubs2 1
• Silvestre (W, 5-3) 5IP, 2H, 0R, BB, 6K
